The largest man-made island, Flevoland! Including Almere, Oostvaardersplassen, Lelystad, de Batavia!
The largest man-made island is located in The Netherlands and is called the Flevopolder. It is located in the province of Flevoland and today I will make a road trip through this region. I will start my video in the biggest city on the Island, Almere. The video also includes iconic locations like national park the "Oostvaardersplassen", the 17th century Dutch trading ship the "Batavia" and the two former Island Urk and Schokland of which the latter is an Unesco World Heritage Site. Let me know what you think of this special region in The Netherlands!

zhlédnutí 4,4KPřed rokem
Elburg, with over 600 monuments this is one of the most picturesque towns and well-kept secrets in The Netherlands.

Most international tourists would go to the latter. Therefore, I can easily recommend taking a stop in Elburg as ...

It was the place where people that were accused of being a witch could get an honest process to prove that they were unguilty. With one of my best friends, I visited the witch's weighing house of Oudewate...

Flevoland is not an island. An island always reaches above sea level. Flevoland is a "polder".
Nice joke you told in between :D
😂 sneaky at 0:41, you thought we wouldn't notice?
I thank you that you love my city😊 and I live there
Dit is echt een prachtig dorp Robin absoluut mijn favoriet en dat van mijn kinderen ik hoop er ooit nog eens een keer te gaan wonen 😊
lovely video
Cant wait to visit this summer. Will definitely make a donation
Are there plenty of places to fish in Utrecht?

Nice !
Hello Robin, thanks for this video, I really liked this place, I will visit it when I travel to the Netherlands. Good video. Greetings
Ik heb genoten van deze video. Elburg is een prachtige oude stad.
Dankjewel, het is inderdaad een relatief onbekend pareltje!
What a beautiful little city; I am a new subscriber and look forward to watching your other Dutch videos. Thank you for your time Robin, it is very much appreciated. This is the type of history that I like to learn about
Thank you for your feedback, appreciated! My next project will be the city of Harderwijk...
Hahah nice thats where I was born
I call it Ellendeburg cause i didn't like going to school there lol
Thanks for showing us Woerden and around
Thanks!
I remember like yesterday 😊🎉❤❤❤ when we arrived as refugees from Somalia.The year was 1990 until 1996 the happiest years of my 36yr old life 😊 it me and my mother and my 3siblings I attended a school called Van kinsberger school we lived in two places in Elburg Clakenweg 86 and then luttenkenstraat 21 .We then moved to Amsterdam Zuid oost we now live in London for the last 25yrs I will always keep Elburg in my heart I think about it everyday 😢for the rest of my life it is in my opinion the greatest place to raise your children 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤ the loveliest community ever to the people of Elburg I thank you and especially the Haas family and of course Hilde Haas our gateway to Nederland and the western world the Girl the family who showed us the way when I was a child the refugees
That's a heart warming story! Thanks for sharing! I can imagine that you miss Elburg a lot. I'm glad that the lovely people from Elburg were able to help you and your family. I can imagine that life in London is very different... I wish you and your family all the best in the future!
Try next time harderwijk,hattem or staverden with the white peacocks .And on the other side off the ijssel there is bronkhorst and thats a real gem.
It's on my list, whenever I have time. I started a new job as a geography teacher, but I hope to make some more videos in the upcoming months as well.
Thanks for the video. I had one more place to visit 🎉 … too many good places to visit in the Netherlands 🫠
Agree. I was amaze too. Cycled last summer from Zwolle to Elburg. ❤❤❤
A beautiful ride indeed!
Thank you for creating such amazing footage and documentation about Elburg! I live in the vesting (town) for 13 years now, you even showed my home (a little bit). Also my father in law is an archeologist on the Veluwe and also speaks at arent thoe boecop from time to time. Thank you again! (volgens mij kan ik gewoon Nederlands praten, maar voor de zekerheid haha).
Thanks! It's a beautiful town to live! Bijzonder dat je pa nog in contact staat met de familie Thoe Boeckop! Dankjewel voor je feedback!
Awesome video, thank you for showing the Netherlands and it’s hidden gems. The video shoots quality is great, continue!
Ja zeker!Ik woon er met veel plezier!!
👍 thank you very much!
Thank you for the nice video!
Thanks!
Thanks!
The harbour is very special because the wharf it the only wharf in the Netherlands that make and repair those traditional flatbed ships called “the botter”
Thanks for sharing!
Molenaar heet Karel Doorman....
Very interesting tour , thank you 👍
Thanks!
Looks all like a fairy tale but my God, all those mosquitos!!!
Je moet een keer naar Weesp gaan!
Ook een goede tip. Rondom Amsterdam heb je veel leuke plaatsjes nog inderdaad!
Great travel videos. Thanks.
erg mooie en professionele video, het was leuk om naar te kijken. ik was verrast dat het kanaal 280 abonnees heeft toen ik naar beneden scrolde.
Dankjewel! Er is altijd ruimte voor verbetering natuurlijk.
I hope people living there know it. Otherwise it would be a pain finding your way home...
Hahahahaha, good one! Cheers :)
As a child i loved the batavia. I hope i'll be able to go there some time again. Thank you for your videos, they bring back a lot of fond childhood memories. I subscribe to your channel
Thanks! The Batavia is fantastic to visit for both kids and adults. For me the ship was more impressive in reality then I thought it would be. I can imagine that you loved it as a child.
I was there every year with my family as a child. Nothing better than to look at these beautiful ships and eating kibbeling😊
So true!
Heel mooi. Hartelijk dank voor een ander prachtig filmpje. Let op! Nederland is "the Netherlands" in het Engels.
Inderdaad. I hope to bring my English to the next level while creating the videos. Thanks for mentioning the little mistake!
@@robindiscovering Graag gedaan. (Ik was vroeger docent.) Je doet 't goed.
Prachtige stad. Mijn zoon en ik zijn van plan daarheen te verhuizen.
Zeer de moeite waard, ook de omgeving is schitterend! Veel succes met de verhuisplannen!
@@robindiscovering, Dankjewel!
What a delightful video! I applaud you for the informative, well-executed text. (In het Engels!) I must now visit Elburg. (Ik woon in het schitterende Middleburg maar ik ben in Californië opgegroeid. Ik ben gek op deze oude, sfeervolle plaatsen.)
Thanks! Elburg is highly recommended! Coincidentally I will spent my next holidays in California and surrounding regions! I'm leaving for the states in a couple of days... As a geographer I love nature. I can't wait to see some of the most beautiful national parks like zion, bryce and the grand canyon. I will also drive from LA to SF. Unfortunately no time for filming there as I'm traveling with my family. Anyways, California is also an amazing place to grow up!
@@robindiscovering Heel veel plezier. Ik ben in Palo Alto opgegroeid.
@@marcelmoulin3335 Je Nederlands is erg goed! Palo Alto... ik denk dat ik er langs kom, grappig.
@@robindiscovering Goedemorgen! Hartelijk dank voor jouw compliment. Nederlands is eigenlijk mijn derde taal. (Ik ben niet met de Nederlandse taal opgegroeid hoewel ik Nederlander ben.) Wanneer je in de Bay Area bent, is het de moeite waard om Petaluma, Windsor of Alameda te bezoeken. Daar vindt men prachtige huizen en een mooi centrum. Goede reis!
@@marcelmoulin3335 palo alto ligt mooi op de route, dus wie weet!
You should bike! Much more to see! I live close by. Many old (around 1000years) villages and small towns there and farmland. Close by the river Rhine, the old smaller Rhine, the 'Hollandse IJssel'......and many many small waterways with all different names and purposes. Many of them dug by poor workmen. As everything is closeby a tourist can easily bike from one place to another.
I should bike more indeed. The region is best explored by bike probably! It is so easy to get around by bicycle in The Netherlands!
The Vlist towards Schoonhoven is a great route too
@@urbandiscount and Schoonhoven is said to be quite nice too. Plan to visit soon (by bus). The whole route from Utrecht, Gouda, Rotterdam is nice, especially in Spring, by the local bus.
I really enjoyed this video. I’m adding Montfoort to my list of places to visit … and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Montfoort is wonderfull, combine it with Oudewater and you'll have a lovely day out.
Toevallig je kanaal ontdekt, ik geniet van al je filmpjes, erg mooi!❤
Dankjewel!
Beautiful ! You should have thousends of subscribers more. Really like you vids. Unique insights.
Thanks for the compliment, appreciated!
Knobody????? Really?
Relatively unknown yes, it's well known in the region of Woerden, but not so much outside of it...
@@robindiscoveringyou still don’t get the hint… Knobody is fout!
@@hansdenotter7376 hahaha inderdaad, lol het was me niet opgevallen lol!
Beautiful old town. My friends love going there. Never been there myself, but this video definitely makes me excited. Thanks for the great video!
Highly recommended!
@@robindiscovering Have you visited Dokkum? Also a hidden gem!
@@markuserikssen not yet, I'll put it on my bucket list!
Great to learn more about these unknown beautiful cities in my country. May the algorithm be with you.
Thanks!
The Netherlands is a beutiful country, love it!
Thanks! What's your favorite place in The Netherlands so far?
@@robindiscovering it's hard to pick only one place, the entire country is very special, but I think Haarlem, Amsterdam, Giethoorn, Maastricht, the ortified city of Naarden and many others. As my wife says, The Netherlands is the real Disneyland.
@@marcosmenescal2962 Naarden is an interesting pick, maybe I should visit it later this year!
amazing video, been living in Elburg for my entire life now (19 years of age) and i absolutely love the city, even tho there is not much to do for the young people i still love the fact thats its still one of the few old dutch style city and not one of the many modernised ones. keep up the great work my friend!
Thanks for your reply. True, it's definitely not a party town. But as you say, Elburg is kept really well. It must be a wonderful place to grow up!
@@robindiscovering Yes it really is, everyone knows everyone in the city and (almost) no youth messing up the city so if you want a safe place for you're kids to grow up, Elburg is definetly a place to consider!
Lived there all my youth, and it is a great place for young families and retirees, but otherwise boring as shit..
Ooit bij Veere in Zeeland geweest? Ook heel mooi!
Dit is een goede tip, dankjewel!
Loved the video my granddaughter lives in Woerden I love the Netherlands and l am studying Dutch
Aaah what a lovely place to live. And so centrally located in The Netherlands! A perfect base to live and explore more of the country! "Leuk dat je Nederlands leert spreken" :).
Why did you not visit the big church? The door was open……..
Yes I should have! Maybe I will for another little project in the future!
